Just read through the whole thread in one go.
Why are people pooh-poohing the YA label as "just marketing," as though that's a terrible sin? Of course it's marketing, just as any other label is marketing to a certain audience. What's wrong with offering a way of organizing the vast number of books into more manageable categories?
If a book has a photographic cover, a teenage protagonist, a school or family setting, and a first-person narrator, I'd say it's a pretty good bet that it's YA.
